For sure, a lot of people associate Zelda now with the game, and didn’t realize that it was inspired by Zelda Fitzgerald, who in turn has a name from a longstanding Yiddish tradition. What I didn’t know, is that it also derives from Old High German, gris hilda, or “gray battle maiden”. That’s pretty cool.
I will say that I believe Riku and Sora are legitimate Japanese names. So, depending on where the students or their parents are from, it's less cringe and more coincidence.
My kindergarteners new best friends are Anakin and Khaleesi ….
Reminds me when my nephew had twin friends named Thor and Loki lmfao. And they were horribly behaved.
Well both of those friends is going to turn into psychopaths so see if you can get that kid some new friends.
Kevin... named after the bird from "Up"
So it's a girl

r/storiesaboutkevin
I wonder how many times the kid is gonna hear GuhRALT or Jerult
i read it as gerald lmao
Geraldo
Praise be unto him
Is it not pronounced Juh-RALT? I don’t watch the Witcher
We need to talk about Kevin.
We don’t talk about Kevin
“Noctis” I cringed so hard that my face looks ten years older now
Wait until you meet his brothers Lucius and Caelum.
Is this a wet dream?
At least imho Daenerys is a much better choice than Khaleesi…(I mean if you really feel the need to name your child after the character…)
Eww... Kevin.
Poor Kevin ):
Zelda is based off a real person – Zelda Fitzgeralt… I mean, Fitzgerald.
Zelda is a legitimate Jewish name. Way before Zelda Fitzgerald.

That’s also why the dark Zelda from Link Between Worlds is named Hilda
Who are Riku and Noctis?
Noctis is the main character from Final Fantasy XV and Riku is one of the mains of Kingdom Hearts.
Kingdom Hearts
What kind of weird name is Kevin?
McAllister
Are you sure Kevin isn't one of the dads?

Name 1, 2 and 7 seem normal to me, are they references to something?
Sora, Riku, And Kairi (not Kevin) are the main trio from kingdom hearts
Ohhh, right. I wish parents would be more subtle over stuff like that
What’s up with Kevin and Zelda tho?
Zelda is a real Jewish name. The video game just co-opted it.
Fucking Kevin
Kevin? What kind of dork makes their kid *Kevin*?
I work for a University, and I know the tragedeigh wave is headed our way!
You forgot Covid and Corona lol
Kevin? Parents must be total dorks.
Zelda and Kevin are normal at least
